"Without Walls passionately believe that nurturing talent to stimulate new work is more important than ever and a vital tool to support the recovery of the cultural sector and our towns and cities across the land. With support from Arts Council England, we can use this investment to make sure that there is a future for Outdoor Arts, a form that uniquely reaches people in the places they call home and brings joy and comfort in an experienced shared."

We are currently developing this concept in order to champion local creative talent alongside supporting development through a range of workshops and other opportunities including collaborative projects and performances.

“Despite the local authority cuts of recent years, I’ve witnessed a significant increase in the quality of outdoor arts, and also in its scope and willingness to offer considerably more than just eye candy. Just as its close cousin, circus, is increasingly redefining and pushing the boundaries of the art form, so street arts are reimagining what they can do, where and how. The rise in quality – in part driven by the Without Walls commissions – goes hand in hand with a rise in audiences.”

“Appetite has been cited as a major reason for Stoke-on-Trent going for UK City of Culture 2021. I think the quality of the shows and the links to Without Walls has been a major part in this.”
